Script Summary: Send messages without having to leave the dashboard.
Version: 1.3.2
This alters Tumblr's dashboard to let you send messages without leaving the dashboard.
All you need to do is hover over a user's icon in the dashboard, click the "(i)" button in the lower right corner, and hit the Ask button. The button has been altered to open up a dialog box on the Dashboard instead of opening the user's page.
Hey look! New feature! (v1.1) Message Replies:
Now it adds a link to message posts that allows you to send a message to the person who asked the question!
Another new feature! (v1.2) Inbox Replies:
While you may still just click the avatar in Tumblr's unified inbox to reply, there is now an added "Reply" button to responses that were answered privately.
Another new feature! (v1.3) Unfollow Confirm:
While the Unfollow button doesn't really fit in with the purpose of this script, several people have noted that it's easy to accidentally hit the Unfollow button below the Ask button, so there is now a dialog box asking for confirmation.
Note: This script will not stop the functionality of middle-clicking the link, or right clicking the link, to open it in a new tab.

Bugs:
-I am aware of a possible bug where the link for responding to messages sometimes links to the wrong blog. I think I got rid of it, but if you see this, please report it.

Uses jQuery 1.4.4 Min, and Facebox.
I'll credit Tumblr Unfollowr as that is where I found the jQuery version I'm using—as no other version I tested worked correctly—and, as I decided to use Facebox because of it.
